Buzz cut for women

A buzz cut puts your face, eyes and bone structure front and centre. See it on your own photo before the clippers come out.

Who a buzz cut suits

Anyone can wear one, but it shows more of your face. Strong brows, defined cheekbones and an even head shape are what people notice first. A flat spot at the back of the head also shows more at #0 to #2.

A longer guard like #4 softens all of that. It is the easiest way to try the look without going all the way.

Which guard to start with

#4, 13 mm: soft, dense and forgiving. A good first buzz.
#2, 6 mm: the classic look. The scalp shows faintly.
#0 or #1: close to the skin. Bold, and fully shows your head shape.

Render two lengths on your photo and compare them side by side before you decide.

Buzz cut with a #2 guard, about 6 mm — #2 6 mm

Buzz cut with a #0 guard, about 1.5 mm — #0 1.5 mm

Making it look intentional

Earrings and defined brows carry a lot more weight with very short hair.
Keep the neckline and sides tidy. A quick clean-up every two to three weeks keeps the shape.
Put sunscreen on your scalp. It has not seen the sun in a while.

Growing it out

At about half an inch a month, a #2 becomes an even crop in two to three months and a short pixie in four to six. Trims around the ears and neck make the in-between stages look planned.

Guards to render

#1 and #2 differ by 3 mm, so they look close. That is true on a real head too.

Your first guard is free. Unlock the rest from $2.99.

Example on a sample face, #4. Drag to compare.

Daylight beats bathroom light.

Questions

Will a buzz cut make my face look rounder?

It shows your face shape as it is, with nothing framing it. Preview #4 and #2 on your photo to see how much framing you lose.

What guard number do women usually choose?

Many choose a #3 or #4 for the first buzz, then go shorter once they like it. #2 is the classic buzz length.

Can I try it if my hair is long in the photo?

Yes. Pull it back if you can and face the camera. The tool removes the length and keeps your face, ears and earrings as they are.

How long does it take to grow back?

Roughly half an inch a month. Expect a short crop at two to three months and chin length after about a year.
